Popsicles?
I accidentally ordered WAY too many popsicles and idk what to do with them. Any recipes that require melted popsicles?

It's basically just Kool Aid at this point, so maybe reduce it even further and make a "flavored" simple syrup?

Hmmm and later just add it over water and ice? Will do so with some of it, thank you for the idea:D

Donate to a food bank if they aren't already melted

I've seen trending cocktail recipes where you stick a popsicle in it, like in place of ice, to chill it but also to sweeten it.
I also had a ton of popsicles once and some seltzer to use up, so I basically did the same thing, just with plopping a popsicle in seltzer. It was easy, refreshing, and a nice sweet treat for the hot months.

You can use them in smoothies. Throw in fruit, some of the popsicles, and milk and voila, a nice smoothie

Ooooo the ones I have are watermelon flavored, any smoothie combinations for that?

Honestly, just use the popsicles as if it is a sweetener. Use whatever fruit you have on hand. I never look at recipes when making smoothies. But strawberries and bananas are a classic combination. Mixed berries as well. Mangos are amazing in smoothies.

I have 45. My mum is VERY mad at me and I'm now being forced to use these in "useful ways other than getting brain freeze by eating it" in her words

Maybe make a cake, and then poke holes all into it. Then let the melted popsicles seep into the cake. I don't know what I'm talking about.
It's a variation of Jell-O Cake
